... Rami (who’s the one behind Fightmetric) wrote up a breakdown of the fight as well in justification of the draw, but I dunno. Looking at the number of strikes and the submission attempts and the passes certainly gives credence to Forrest winning. Or how about all those power head shots Rampage threw? That must mean he won. Anyways, enjoy twisting the stats any which way to say whatever you want. Me, I’m just gonna wait for the rematch.

... Jackson dropped the challenger. In Ibarra's view, the knockdown warranted a 10-8 round in Jackson's favor. He believes Jackson won the third and fourth rounds on 10-9 scores, though he said Griffin deserved a 10-8 second round and a 10-9 fifth. That comes out to a 47-46 win for Jackson. "You have to beat the champion," Ibarra asserted more than once. Rami Genauer of FightMetric has some detailed round-by-round scoring analysis of the fight up at AOL that could bolster Ibarra's case.
